Chapter 218: Opening the Way in the Mountains

If you think about it, Kaiserslautern's unexpected defeat in the last round of the league is actually not a bad thing, and this game can be regarded as a slap in the face to wake them up at a critical moment, "You are far from being invincible in the world!" ”

The invincible world does not have to think about it in this life, so Kaiserslautern officials, coaches, players and even fans should be more cautious and never indulge when it comes to critical moments.

The first to react was their head coach Marco Kurtz, who exposed two problems with his side that led directly to the defeat in the first official game of the season. Now it's up to him, the head of the players, to come up with a better way to solve the problem, which is another challenge to test a manager in addition to directing the game.

In response to the pride and complacency that pervaded the team, Kurz made a ruthless move this time, canceling the team's game and taking a routine break, and the whole team went straight to Betzen Mountain to watch the long journey.

Kurtz has long warned the team to be cautious and not to be complacent, it was supposed to be prevented, and since it has been "natural" and the problem has arisen, it is even more important not to fall in the same place again.

Although it is not realistic in practice, rectification is still necessary, just as individual countries will always organize a special investigation and rectification only after certain social problems have appeared, and there should still be a form.

The team's underdog ego was well solved, but another problem plagued Kurtz. There is no doubt that in his heart, Rakic and Ni Tu are both very powerful players, one is the absolute main force and efficient shooter last season, and the other is one of the latest discoveries and hopes for the future this season.

But the key problem lies in this arrangement, Rakic's comeback has actually reduced Ni Tu's chances of touching the ball, and the team's hard-bridge and hard-horse style of play makes him very uncomfortable, and his not tall and strong body is undoubtedly a weakness that restricts play; And with the dumb fire on Ni Tu's side, Rakic also lacks a firepower point that can support him, and he can only rely on the wing Sam and Ilicevic to satisfy his "**".

This didn't seem to be obvious when Rakic's injury and the team's forwards took turns in the bank, and some of them were just the things that Janderick didn't focus on football. And whether Ni Tu is partnered with Jane Derisek or Nemek, he plays the role of the core of the front court in the actual game, although Ni Tu is not aware of this role, Kurz is also aware of it.

And now that Rakic's return to the lineup, the system he brings naturally contradicts Ni Tu.

In fact, the two of them are very complementary at first glance, Rakic has an advantage in height and strength, and Ni Tu has done a good job in disc control. One is a powerful striker and the other is a killer in the shadows, and the two should have cooperated tacitly.

Kurtz doesn't believe this is an accident, he feels that everything has a reason to manifest itself, and Ni Tu and Rakic are indeed incompatible with each other on the court. Now that this problem is bothering him, Kurz as a manager has to come up with a solution.

There is no way, for a team, to solve the problem of poor operation, either start with the main tactical play, or start from the individual.

But Kurtz didn't want to change the tactical system that had been basically running smoothly from the beginning to the present, and the framework that he had built up with great difficulty could be changed, and he could stand it, but his players might not be able to stand it. The general line is unshakable, as in our country, but the specific implementation can be flexible, and the head coach is more inclined to fine-tune the system.

As for the second method, if you start from the individual, you must be even more cautious, because personnel is the most complicated, and there are two ways to choose, simple and crude substitutions or tactfully let the existing players make appropriate changes.

If you want to change players, who do you want to replace? Nitu or Rakic? Kaiserslautern is not Real Madrid, it has extravagant luxury to the extreme...... The bench lineup, he Kurz has such a small number of troops in his hands, and he can't afford to pick and choose. If Kurtz had the luxurious forward line of Inter Milan, he could even play a few games...... The key is that he didn't, Rakic and Ni Tu are the best at this stage, as for Jandridgek, he has been blocked, and it is the dirtiness between the Slovak and the team that makes the manager have to treat his forward line well.

So Kurtz is more inclined to ask the existing players to change their playing style "slightly" and take care of each other's feelings. Again, he wants to talk to the person concerned.

The first to be talked about was Ni Tu, because Kurtz knew that he would definitely stay and practice, and this habit had been retained by him and had never changed.

"How did you look at the last game? Is it uncomfortable to play? For Ni Tu, Kurtz decided that he didn't need to weigh his words, so he spoke to the other party very bluntly, and he still had a certain psychological advantage in front of his disciple.

"It's a little bit, but I think I'll get used to my new teammates." Ni Tu didn't seem to have any psychological fluctuations.

Kurtz is very satisfied, some players have given you a satisfactory answer before you can speak, and Ni Tu's willingness to cooperate has made the manager's favor of him rise a lot. How could he not be willing to cooperate? Of course, the interests of the team are the most important, and Ni Tu is not willing to do things that are less than 1+1 than 2.

"That's good, work well with Rakic, the two of you can support each other far more than alone."

Kurtz and Ni Tu chatted briefly and didn't bother him again, while the latter continued to train with Shadi.

Shadi has really improved a bit over the years, and he is now a thunderous force under Marshall. The Macedonian apparently wanted to say something, and when Kurz left, he stopped his training and approached Nitu.

"Isn't the first team as free as the second team? Do you want to come back? ”

Ni Tu scoffed at his friend's ridicule, and gave the other party a middle finger in response.

Of course, Shadi was joking with his good friend Ni Tu. He would rather give up the main position of the second-tier team to come to the first-team to watch the water cooler, and Ni Tu is now facing a situation much better than Shadi envisioned, at least it can be concluded that this Chinese can fight for a position in the first team.

Thinking of this, Shadi suddenly became envious again, he rarely compared himself with Ni Tu, calmed down for a while, and then said to Ni Tu: "Adapt well in the first team, a professional player also needs to constantly adjust to make himself more suitable for the actual needs of the team!" ”
